Therefore, the best way to handle change is by managing it rather than avoiding it. Although teams should resist unnecessary changes, it is important to stay open to new opportunities that could bring more value to the project and the organization.

Very simple definition of change request is a proposal to alter a product or system, often brought up by the client or another team member. During a project, this can happen when a client wants to change or alter the deliverables agreed upon.

A change request is a request to increase, decrease or modify any document, deliverables, work order, task, quantity of requested material or baseline. It is a formal, written request that occurs after the parameters of the project have been agreed to or baselined and when the project is underway. In ISETIA you can keep documentation regarding change request and apply dynamic workflow on any request.

ISETIA Provide Change Request Module to allow system users to digitalize their requests online on common data environment.

An approved change request is a type of change request that has been processed through integrated change processes. The change request is often submitted by requesters, reviewed by different parties, and approved by stakeholders of the project. ISETIA has flexible role base privileges systems which gives opportunity for organization to state who can request, who can approve, what are required documents for approval, document check lists, and approval checklists. All requests history will be recorded in system such as when requested, when approved and when accounted by stage movement in ISETIA Board.

Moreover ISETIA also gives possibilities to communicate, add comments, notes and remarks for all change requests.
